Frequently Asked Questions
Since the Companies Act 2014, a private company limited by shares (LTD) has a single-document constitution that replaces the old Memorandum and Articles of Association. It sets out the company's internal rules - how shares work, how directors are appointed, how decisions are made, and how the company can be wound up. Every LTD company must have one.
Yes. The constitution must be filed with the Companies Registration Office (CRO) as part of the company incorporation process (Form A1). If you are updating an existing constitution, you must file the amended version with the CRO. Our document is formatted for CRO filing.
This document is specifically for a private company limited by shares (LTD). If you need a constitution for a Designated Activity Company (DAC), Company Limited by Guarantee (CLG), or PLC, the requirements are different. Contact us for a custom document, or consult a solicitor on SolicitorCompare.ie.
Pre-emption rights give existing shareholders the right of first refusal when shares are being sold or issued. This prevents dilution and keeps ownership within the existing shareholder group. Our constitution includes standard pre-emption provisions that you can customise.
